Poland vs Argentina lineups: Confirmed team news, starting XIs, injury latest for World Cup 2022 today

Alex Young @alexwsyoung30 November 2022

Argentina have made changes to their starting line-up as they look to secure qualification to the World Cup knockouts against Poland today.

Captain Lionel Messi is the star of the show as ever but Lautaro Martinez drops to the bench as Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez gets his chance, with Angel Di Maria getting the nod on the other flank.

Leandro Paredes misses out on a recall, after sitting out against Mexico, but Cristian Romero regains his centre-back spot from Lisandro Martinez to partner Nicolas Otamendi.

At full-back, Marcos Acuna starts at left-back role with Nahuel Molina on the other side of defence.

For Poland, it's a more straightforward picture for head coach Czeslaw Michniewicz following their resolute win over Saudi Arabia.

Robert Lewandowski will be looking to add to his tally after finally scoring a first ever World Cup goal last time out, though there is a change as he won’t have Arkadiusz Milik alongside him. Karol Swiderski starts instead.

Poland XI: Szczesny, Bereszynski, Glik, Kiwior, Cash, Frankowski, Bielik, Krychowiak, Zielinski, Swiderski, Lewandowski

Argentina XI: Martinez, Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Acuna, De Paul, Fernandez, Mac Allister, Messi, Alvarez, Di Maria
